1940s Agriculture Animal Farm Farmer Livestock Rural Fleece Shorn
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1944, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming scene of rural life. A farmer stands amidst a picturesque farm landscape, surrounded by a flock of sheep eagerly awaiting their daily feed. The image exudes tranquility as the farmer, with his weathered face and strong hands, carries a sack filled with nourishment for his beloved animals. The sight of these gentle creatures huddled around him creates an atmosphere of harmony between man and nature. Their shorn fleeces glisten under the warm summer sun, evidence of their recent shearing. It is evident that this dedicated farmer takes great pride in tending to his livestock. This print captures not only the essence of agriculture but also the timeless bond between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that farming is not merely about sustenance; it is about nurturing and caring for living beings who depend on us for their well-being. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still cherished today. As we admire this piece of history, let us appreciate the dedication and hard work that farmers have always put into providing for both our tables and our souls through their tireless efforts on the land.
